Study Notes
IGCSE Chemistry - States of Matter
-
States of matter include solids, liquids, and gases.
-
Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
-
Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
-
Gases have no fixed shape or volume and expand to fill their container.
-
Particles in solids are held tightly together in a fixed arrangement.
-
Particles in liquids are close together but can move past each other.
-
Particles in gases are far apart and move randomly.
-
Changes of state (e.g., melting, freezing, boiling, condensation, sublimation) involve changes in energy.
-
Melting is when a solid becomes a liquid.
-
Freezing is when a liquid becomes a solid.
-
Boiling is when a liquid becomes a gas.
-
Condensation is when a gas becomes a liquid.
-
Sublimation is when a solid becomes a gas directly.
-
Dry ice (CO2) sublimates at room temperature.
-
The amount of energy absorbed or released in a change of state depends on the substance.
-
Solids, liquids and gases have different particle arrangement and movement.
-
The strength of intermolecular forces affects the state of matter.
-
Temperature affects the motion of particles.
-
Higher temperatures lead to faster particle movement.
-
The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
-
When pressure increases, the gas can convert into a liquid.
Properties of Solids
- Strong forces of attraction
- Fixed positions
- Lattice arrangement
- Particles vibrate
- Definite shape and volume.
- Generally very dense
- Cannot be compressed
- Expand when heated.
Properties of Liquids
- Some attraction between molecules.
- Particles are free to move.
- Take the shape of their container
- Particles are in constant random motion
- Can be compressed slightly
- Quite dense
Properties of Gases
- No forces of attraction between molecules.
- Particles are free to move and travel in straight lines and collide.
- No definite shape or volume
- Expand to fill container
- Particles move randomly
- Can be compressed
- Very low density.
- Exert pressure on walls of container
- Move faster when heated
Changes of State
- During a change of state, the temperature does not change until the change of state is complete.
- Melting Point: Solid to Liquid.
- Boiling Point: Liquid to Gas.
- Freezing Point: Liquid to Solid.
- Condensation Point: Gas to Liquid
- Sublimation: Solid to Gas
Evidence of Particles
- Experiments like the dilution of colored solutions and diffusion demonstrate the existence of particles.
- Diffusion is faster at:
- Higher temperatures
- Larger surface areas
- Higher concentration gradients
- Smaller Particles
- The diffusion medium affects particle movement.
- Gases diffuse faster than liquids, which are faster than solids.
- Factors affecting diffusion
More on Diffusion
- Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
- Particles in the substance move randomly.
- Diffusion continues until the particles are evenly spread.
- Diffusion does not take place in solids since particles are in fixed positions.
- Diffusion occurs in liquids and gases
Examples of IGCSE Chemistry Experiments
- Ammonia gas (NH3) diffuses faster than hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) due to its lower molecular mass.
- A white cloud of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) forms where the gases meet.
Further Study Details
- Pure substances have definite melting and boiling points.
- Mixtures don't have set melting and boiling points.
- Substances have unique melting and boiling points.
- Table 1.2 Shows examples of specific melting and boiling points of different substances.
